What a joy!!! I just taught a 2 day Painted Quilt Art class here in Austin, Tx with members of the Austin Area Quilt Guild. Such a fun, adventurous group! Public thanks here to Frances (program VP) , Mary and Jan (Workshop Officers) for a wonderful time. This group was"cranking" big time. I was able to capture a few pictures as yesterday ended so will share them here. I love to show off students work both paintings finished and in progress.
Here are but some of the varied fine work from the last 2 days... Please consider all photographs and patterns as copywritten I'll begin with RENEE's Iris
Kitty captured these 2 adorable dogs. These are Kitty's 2 generation dogs.
Lee chose to interpret a photo of a sweet dog to be featured in an upcoming fundraiser guilt.
Rats... I'm a bit uncertain which magnolia this is... there were 3 painted.

Marie produced a serious set of tiger eyes. There were a couple more tigers painted but somehow not photographed. I was pretty much brain-fried though mighty happy at day's end. Nice work all!

Kathleen ( www.thequiltgal.com) created a piece honoring her beloved kitty.
AND a lovely rose.
Mary Kay is painting her beloved therapy dog Caleb. I would love to meet Caleb. He's beautiful inside and out. Don't you want to hug this animal?
Sharon has her dog nearly finished. ( My apologies that I missed getting a photo of our other Sharon's ( Sharon C.) floral Datura.)
Holly took on a bold challenge of this bee hive and wow... it is well on it's way to something exceptional.
Sandy had some great fun creating this whimsical butterfly.

Frances is a great photographer. The shot on the left is her own photo of El Capitan in Yosemite ( one of natures most magnificent places on earth ). To the right is a closer view of part of her in-progress painting of her photo image. I have no doubt the finished piece will be exceptional.

I surely missed a few photos of other work.. Rats... THANK YOU ALL for a great 2 days.
